Difference between “display:none”, “visibility:hidden” or “opacity:0”

In HTML, We need to hide and show the elements according to our requirement and we achieve this with different ways. An element could be hidden with “display:none”, “visibility:hidden” or “opacity:0”. But these options are used according to their requirement because their usage are different.

The difference between “display:none”, “visibility:hidden” or “opacity:0” are as follows;

1. display:none hides the element, and it does not take up any space;
2. visibility:hidden hides the element, but it still takes up space in the layout;
3. opacity:0 hides the element as “visibility:hidden”, and it still takes up space in the layout; the only difference is that opacity lets one to make an element partly transparent;

    When visibility is none you seem not able to interact with object while with opacity set to 0 you can. Also, setting transition for visibility won’t make you smooth animation like in case of opacity.
